Duncan Keith must sit Game 4

LOS ANGELES -- Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Duncan Keith received a one-game suspension for high sticking the Los Angeles Kings' Jeff Carter during Game 3 of the Western Conference finals, the NHL's department of player safety announced Wednesday.

Keith swung his stick upward and connected with Carter's face while the two were skating behind the play Tuesday. Carter fell to the ice and later required 20 stitches. He also chipped a tooth.
